The story of Harvest Vineyards and the development of this award-winning wine company, has been the brainchild of Mark Arnold.
Mark was driven by his relentless pursuit of excellence and his great knowledge and interest in all things wine. This combined with Mark’s professionalism and deep understanding of the art of winemaking, allowed him to become immersed in this “project of the heart”.
Harvest Vineyards represents many years of scouring the Australian wine landscape to identify the very finest vineyard blocks, the greatest winemakers and finally, the pinnacle of Australian vineyard locations. Mark finally chose to investigate the wines and vineyards of South Australia. His signature wine, has now been born; The Harvest Vineyards Special Reserve Bin 999 Shiraz produced from his 100 Years Old Barossa Valley vines.
To quote Mark “No investment has been spared in the vineyards, the final grapes, infrastructure, winemaking technology and of course, the final wines of undisputed magnificence”
The company utilises an uncompromising and intriguing combination of “old and new world” winemaking techniques. From the selection of the finest grapes (from micro-climatic blocks within each vineyard), to magnificent French and American oak and onto state-of-the-art winemaking technology, Harvest Vineyards is set to explode onto the global wine stage.
Mark’s love of wine means he can reference the greatest wines of the world in his vision to produce his rare and aged special reserve wines at Harvest Vineyards.
“Harvest Vineyards is the symphony of Australian nature, soiled with great love, sustained by passion, blended by the art of winemaking, produced the highest quality wine and 100 years passage of time is captured inside one drop of wine.”
Mark holds an indelibly etched approach to the production of fine wine. No expense has been spared. French and American oak is purchased two years in advance of supply, the wines, following maturation, spend up to 18 months in oak before the very final wines can be blended from only the very best individual casks from each production.
Mark’s mantra; “I will invest any amount, without concerning myself with final profits, until I have produced the greatest wines.”
Harvest Vineyards is ready to present the wines to the world-wide wine trade and press alike. All wines produced by Harvest Vineyards will be presented at wine shows and public forums around the world with a view to gaining notoriety and appreciation for their quality.
Mark’s main goal however, is for all to “enjoy” the wines he has produced.
